For this case we have the following expression:
Using the associative property we can rewrite the expression in the following way:
Finally, simplifying we have:
Answer:
Rewriting the expression we have that the result is:
d. -7
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
m∠KHL = 43°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
m∠KHL ≅ m∠GHL [Given in the picture]
Now substituting the values of the angles,
(3x + 1) = (5x - 27)
1 + 27 = 5x - 3x
28 = 2x
14 = x
m∠KHL = (3x + 1)° = (3 × 14) + 1
= 42 + 1
= 43°
Therefore, measure of ∠KHL = 43°

Have a good evening! :)
Answer: B: 19.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This data set is an even data set meaning that you're going to have to add and divide, so you put your data set in ascending order (highest # to lowest #) so 12,12,15,24,31,38 its an even data set so you're going to put them in groups (remember your finding the median, the middle numbers) so you have 12,12 (one group) and 31,38 (another group) (basically make it even!!) so now you're left with the middle numbers, you have to add them and then divide them by 2 so (15+24) ÷2 and you get your answer !!
